After reading The Miserable Mill I was wondering what would happen in the next books to get me motivated to check out all thirteen novels. Things had gotten a bit repetitive but let me tell you, The Austere Academy saves the day.
Once again, I'm hooked and can't wait to find out what might happen next. We reached a new level in the dark mystery surrounding the Beaudelaire parent's death!
As usual I'd like to point out the wonderful illustrations that are made with so much love and so many adorable details. These alone are worth checking the books out!
However, I don't want to repeat myself talking about the writing style and the great humor.

So let me just say, The Austere Academy is an amazing book that reignited my love for A Series of Unfortunate Events!
